Under the agreement, Hughes will provide Cignal TV with user terminals and a network management system using the same technology that Hughes employs to power HughesNet®, its flagship satellite Internet service with more than 1.5 million subscribers. "To launch satellite Internet, we need a platform that we know will deliver a high-quality experience for our two million customers – this is why we chose the Hughes JUPITER System," said Jane Jimenez Basas, president and chief executive officer of Cignal TV.

"This agreement underscores the value of the JUPITER System as the de-facto standard for satellite broadband implementation with leading operators around the world -- like Cignal TV -- leveraging the performance and capabilities of the platform to achieve their business needs."

    Asia Pacific to add 45 million pay TV subscribers The Asia Pacific pay TV sector is the most vibrant in the world, with subscribers up by 45 million and revenues up by $1.40 billion over the next five years. Pay TV penetration will stay at around 69%. Asia Pacific pay TV subscribers by country (mil) 800.0 700.0 600.0 500.0 400.0 300.0 200.0 100.0 0.0 2019 2020 2025 Others 70.5 72.3 80.9 Japan 17.4 17.6 17.7 Indonesia 11.2 13.5 18.5 S Korea 20.4 20.3 20.2 India 158.8 161.1 183.1 China 353.4 357.2 356.0 Source: Digital TV Research Ltd China and India together will account for 80% of the region’s 676 million pay TV subscribers by 2025. India will add 24 million pay TV subscribers over the next five years. However, China will peak in 2021 with a slow decline thereafter. OTT penetration and competition will remain much higher in China than in India. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Much of this subscriber growth is down to the number of TV households increasing by 65 million between 2019 and 2025 to 978 million as populations rise and disposable income climbs. The region’s population is 4 billion – more than half of the world’s total.” For more information on the Asia Pacific OTT TV and Video Forecasts report, please contact: Simon Murray, [email protected], Tel: +44 20 8248 5051 Asia Pacific Pay TV Forecasts Table of Contents Published in March 2020, this 198-page PDF, PowerPoint and excel report comes in three parts: • Outlook: Forecasts for 22 countries in a 52-page PowerPoint document full of charts, graphs and bullet points; • Excel workbook covering each year from 2010 to 2025 for 22 countries by household penetration, by pay TV subscribers, by pay TV revenues and by major operator.
